What does Kagiroi / カギロイ (Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without turning heavy. Voters link it most with leisure and daily wear, with some votes for office and evening too. It reads neither masculine nor feminine in particular.

The citrus notes give a bright, green freshness at first. In the heart, shiso leaf, coriander seed and sanshō pepper add a spicy, leafy edge, softened a little by ylang-ylang. The base builds a dry, earthy woodiness from cypriol, oud, vetiver and patchouli. Louis Vuitton Orage and Hermès Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
